   The extraction technician pulls standing water from the kitchen surface and accessible floor edges. In Knippa, the source trade addresses the failed appliance or connection.

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Knippa technician compares affected and dry areas.
